Abstract:
This invention relates to epoxy resin formulations for preforms to be used in molding processes, especially resin transfer molding processes and to methods for preparing the performs. The epoxy formulation is based on liquid or solid epoxy resins blended, with medium to high molecular weight, phenoxy resins. These formulations are highly compatible with epoxy curable injection resins, and more over are reacted in the polymeric matrix, without reducing the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the cured composite material.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an economical route to environmentally friendly polymeric coatings with a high content of raw materials from renewable resources. These polymeric coatings offer performance characteristics that are competitive with conventional coating systems. The unique polymers on which this invention is based are copolymers of triglyceride oils, such as soybean oil, linseed oil, or another natural oil, with a vinyl compound, such as an acrylate or methacrylate, or a vinyl aromatic monomer. The present invention more specifically discloses a water dispersible, self-crosslinkable prepolymer composition which is comprised of a triglyceride oil having appended thereto (1) hydroxyl groups, (2) epoxy groups, (3) moieties which contain at least one aldehyde group or at least one ketone group, and (4) moieties which contain at least one vinyl and/or substituted vinyl group. In one embodiment of this invention the moiety which contains at least one vinyl group is derived from maleic anhydride.

Paper coating compositions comprise inorganic pigments and an aqueous polymeric dispersion comprising dispersed polymeric particles. The polymers are obtainable by polymerization of a first monomer that is liquid at room temperature, has a boiling point of at least 50°C and a glass transition temperature of at least 20°C as homopolymer, and a second monomer that is gaseous at room temperature, has a boiling point of below 0°C and a glass transition temperature of below -30°C as homopolymer. The dispersed polymeric particles have an average size of below 150 nm and a glass transition temperature in the range from -10 to +30°C.

This invention relates to a stable aqueous disersion suitable for application to different substrates and especially to paper substrates for producing a barrier layer against compounds of the saturated and aromatic hydrocarbon type. The said aqueous dispersion are characterised in that they comprise destructurized starch in a complexed form. The present invention refers also to the use of said aqueous dispersion as a coating composition for paper based substrates, as microencapsulant of fragrances and as film-forming component for paints.
Abstract:
This invention provides a water-dispersed PSA capable of ensuring adhesion to plastic film without a need for primer coating while not impairing the properties such as adhesive strength, heat resistance, etc. The water-dispersed PSA composition according to this invention comprises: an acrylic polymer (A) obtainable by polymerizing a monomer composition (A) comprising an alkyl (meth)acrylate as a primary component and a reactive functional group-containing monomer, an acrylic polymer (B) obtainable by polymerizing a monomer composition (B) comprising an alkyl (meth)acrylate as a primary component and a reactive functional group-containing monomer, the polymer (B) having a higher glass transition temperature than the polymer (A), and a crosslinking agent (C) reactive with the reactive functional group. In a DSC measurement of a PSA obtainable by drying the water-dispersed PSA composition, glass transition temperature peaks are detected at -25 °C or below, and between +30 °C to +190 °C, respectively.
